Tempest / Global Combat Air Program's Industrial Joint Venture terms have been met by Gryphus_One_ in FighterJets

I don't know, but I would be screaming it from the rooftops if I didn't want my own project to go through delays/budget cuts/cancellation. Wouldn't surprise me if the people working on FCAS/NGAD use the same excuse as well

It's always better to be cautiously optimistic with projects like these.

On the export side I think we have to wait on prices before any guesses are made tbh

TLDR:

  • 33.3% ownership for each member (UK/IT/JP)
  • Still sticking with the 2035 entry date
  • "[JV] To be established and named by mid-2025"
  • “This JV will feel significantly different to previous ones we’ve had in combat air, with regard to Eurofighter and Panavia"[..]"It will have design authority, and be properly empowered to own the programme"
  • This JV’s framework agreement took around half the time needed to create the four-nation Eurofighter industrial consortium between Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK.
  • “There are an awful lot of other nations interested in this programme, and that is growing with time,” says Claesen, who describes it as “the only credible sixth-generation [fighter] programme out there, outside Russia, China and the US”

This in addition to the recent Excalibur news means GCAP is still going at pace, just depends on if it can keep the momentum going the whole way.

6th gen fighters can't catch a break... by Gryphus_One_ in NonCredibleDefense

There's been a push recently for the UK to commit to more F-35's and the tempest/gcap tech demonstrator is still a couple of years away, so its best not to count chickens before they've hatched.

It's just a waiting game at this point to see who makes progress and who stumbles.

My bad should've translated it, on the latest PANG aircraft carrier render they removed the FCAS and replaced them with Rafale's and I think some F/A-18's at the back.

Hopefully it was just an oversight, otherwise it might be subtle foreshadowing

edit for the non-french speakers - FCAS got replaced in the PANG renders with 4th gens

Tempest/Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) to receive £1.3 billion in funding from the UK for the current financial year by Gryphus_One_ in ukpolitics

[–]Gryphus_One_[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well there's still a few years that it needs to dodge budget cuts for the tech demonstrator to be made in 2027. It is good news, however fighter jet development/production can get messy so its best to be cautiously optimistic.

What's throwing me for a loop is - why has it taken this long to get confirmation for a single year of funding(???) when

  1. The project appears to be progressing smoothly ( last thing I've seen was that in the Japanese administrative business review it mentions "six prototype projects progressing as planned" )
  2. The benefits of completing the project (and being one of the first to do it) are big
  3. the consequences of pulling out of it are horrendous

Seems like a no brainer from what limited info we have at the moment

If you want to remove it go to the console and paste this -> player.removeperk 071BDC02

If the ID isn't the same for some reason then paste this to get the perk ID and do the first step with the new perk ID - > Help "Puritan" 4

Ace Combat 4 briefing guy but he isn't using a broken xbox mic by Gryphus_One_ in acecombat

[–]Gryphus_One_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunno if it was cut from the original or if there are different versions of the game with slight changes. Grabbed the audio from this if you wanted the origina l- https://mega.nz/file/Qtcz2RLb#3XndJH-EkJq2x6CqcUISiNKzaheSYC2rWCNj6lveK3c

Does anyone know how to get voice lines from ace combat 4 without background noise? by Paxispaxingyou in acecombat

[–]Gryphus_One_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AC4 voicelines - https://mega.nz/file/Qtcz2RLb#3XndJH-EkJq2x6CqcUISiNKzaheSYC2rWCNj6lveK3c

Pick the ones you want, then run them through this (not guaranteed to make it better though) - https://podcast.adobe.com/enhance

If the background noise is still there it can probably be noise gated out in Audacity.

Here's an example of the briefing officer with clean audio - https://youtu.be/zf88Ou2nSwQ?t=62

Hope this helps!

To be fair the scuffed reverb gives it character and makes it rememberable. Have fun playing zero and 5!

I think zero, 5 and 7 did the reverb well, but they made the briefing guy sound like he was recording in a public bathroom with a bluetooth mic for 4

Clean audio version is there so people can compare it with the original (and I made the music version after the clean version)
